arzik@redhat.com> 1211452466 -0400 bonding: Send more than one gratuitous ARP when slave takes over With IPoIB, reception of gratuitous ARP by neighboring hosts is essential for a successful change of slaves in case of failure. Otherwise, they won't learn about the HW address change and need to wait a long time until the neighboring system gives up and sends an ARP request to learn the new HW address. This patch decreases the chance for a lost of a gratuitous ARP packet by sending it more than once. The number retries is configurable and can be set with a module param.
